Barack Obama’s inauguration as President of the United States easily goes down as one of the biggest/most important events in modern history. Headed by the fam over at 1LoveTO.com, 3 bus loads of Torontonians headed down to D.C. for the event and documented their journey along the way. Now just over a year after the event, they proudly present the documentary “T.O. to D.C. – The Journey To Barack Obama’s Inauguration”. There’s a free screening coming up on March 17th – all info is below!

1 LOVE T.O. Proudly Presents…

On Wednesday March 17th, 2010 at 7p we will be premiering the 1loveto.com documentary “T.O. to D.C. – The Journey To Barack Obama’s Inauguration.” at the Isabelle Bader Theatre (93 Charles Street). It will be the first time since just over a year ago that all the passengers will be in the same room again. It will be the first time for us to share our journey with friends, family, and media that were not on our trip, and we would be honoured to have you join us.

Vincor Canada who is presenting the night, has been very supportive of this project thus far. They’ve gone the extra mile to provide us with wines and hors d’eourves for the event.

Please RSVP to getonthebus@live.com.

P U R P O S E !

Our purpose was to provide an opportunity to be a part of history. We have re-lived history through songs and stories but this time we had a chance to live it out. We also felt it important that Toronto had a presence on this historic day. We believe that this day wasn’t simply a great day for Black history or just American history but more so a significant day for all of us in World history.

On this trip there were 168 people ranging in age from 11-63yrs. A representation of all races and religions all residing in what we call ‘The World In 1 City’ our home 1 Love T.O.
